UPDATE: Israel Lauches 160 Ariel Attacks in Syria, including Against Military Headquarters in Damascus

by July 16, 2025
July 16, 2025

As reported earlier, Israel fired several missiles into Damascus, Syria on Wednesday.

Israel fired rockets at the Syrian Defense Ministry’s headquarters in Damascus, Syria, as it reportedly prepares for a multi-day campaign against the Syrian regime. 

“As of Wednesday afternoon, the IDF had undertaken 160 aerial attacks on Syrian regime forces in and around the vicinity of Sweida in southern Syria,” the Jerusalem Post reports.

Video from the scene shows at least one of Israel’s strikes on a building in Syria.

This comes after President Trump bombed Iran’s nuclear facilities and negotiated a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.

Per Fox:

Israel announced on Wednesday that its forces struck near the entrance of the Syrian Defense Ministry’s headquarters in Damascus.

“The IDF continues to monitor developments and the regime’s actions against Druze civilians in southern Syria. In accordance with directives from the political echelon, the IDF is striking in the area and remains prepared for various scenarios,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) wrote on X.

An Israeli military official said on Wednesday that while the Syrian regime has claimed it is acting to restore order, what is happening on the ground tells a “very different story.” The official added that the more the regime intervenes “the worse it gets.”

The southern Syrian city of Sweida has become a flashpoint in recent days as the country’s leaders clash with armed Druze groups. Syria’s Defense Ministry claimed its forces acted after militias in Sweida violated a ceasefire agreement reached on Tuesday.

Netanyahu said in a statement translated by Google,

My fellow Druze citizens of Israel, the situation in Sweida, the situation in southwestern Syria, is very serious.

The IDF is working, the Air Force is working, other forces are working. We are working to save our Druze brothers and to eliminate the regime’s gangs.

And now I have one request from you: You are citizens of Israel. Do not cross the border.

You are risking your lives; you could be murdered, you could be kidnapped, and you are harming the efforts of the IDF. Therefore, I ask you – return to your homes, let the IDF act.

אחיי אזרחי ישראל הדרוזים, המצב בסווידא, המצב בדרום-מערב סוריה, הוא חמור מאוד.

צה”ל פועל, חיל האוויר פועל, כוחות אחרים פועלים. אנחנו פועלים כדי להציל את אחינו הדרוזים וכדי לחסל את כנופיות המשטר.

ועכשיו יש לי בקשה אחת מכם: אתם אזרחי ישראל. אל תעברו את הגבול.
אתם מסכנים את חייכם;… pic.twitter.com/3C6mAJSB4V
